It is beautiful ... I can just picture it on a bigger scale the effect this one would have.

Thanks for your post, nanakiwi! Although I'd heard part of this (the wounds and crown of thorns) I hadn't heard all the other details, so I found this very interesting!

Have you heard the story of the passion flower? Whenever I see the passionflower it always reminds me of the story that I was taught years ago. The spiraled tendrils - the lash of Christ's scourging The central flower column - the pillar of the Scourging The 72 radial filaments - the Crown of Thorns The top 3 stigma - the 3 Nails The lower 5 anthers - the 5 wounds The Style - the Sponge used to moisten Christ's Lips with Vinegar The leaves - the head of the Centurion's Spear The red stains - Christ's Blood Drops
